Tell ya what. Some of the most notorious spawn campers can fly a plane pretty darn well actually! :aok

Pretty much, it's the fastest way to build up GV Kills to up your GV score. If you're into watching you score and keeping it balanced, you spend most of your time in the air, so time on the ground has to be utilized to it's max.

Also, if you're a moron that keeps UPPING into a vulch or a spawn camp, you deserve to die over, and over, and over again.

Only thing more boring than spawn camping is threads about spawn camping  LOLH.:rofl

I can't help wondering if a lot of these spawn camp aces aren't just vulching second accounts. Not suggesting the guys mentioned in this thread are doing this, but it would be so easy to do that it makes GV scoring in general even less worthy of respect IMO.

Randomise the SPs please HTC. Perhaps create spawning areas on the map, you click on the exact point in the area you want to spawn at. The map makers would need to ensure the whole area was viable (no point too steep etc) and the FE would spawn the GV as close to that point as possible, but away from any obstacles like trees.

I once had 4,324 kills in a Spit V... all air-to-air without any vulches or rearms.  I even had a couple of rounds of 20mm left over, but I unfortunately had to ditch just shy of the runway after finally running out of gas.

Honest!

LOL true dat

heck we were going to have a page on our website of large multiple kill messages, and multiple members of the squad landing....

PC'ness took over, some members dont land a ton of kills frequently, and we didn't want them to feel left out

we had one pic of me 42, and i think 26 all landing over 20 in 190 at the same time a few years back.

was something like almost 75 combined kills all in 1 sortie no reloads.

but lol no im not trying to impress you, though others who read thread might think and go, oh maybe the tons of kills has been done, and unless it truly is something remarkable don't "brag"

even if it is, why come here and get your name in lights again?

Post by: megadud on January 18, 2005, 01:35:50 PM

I beg to differ here. Check my vehicle score. I have never spawn camped in my life but instead murder vulchers with an Ostwind, my K/D , K/H and K/S is higher than any spawncamper. If you want to play for rank, learn to shoot at high deflection in an Ostwind and let the vulcher hordes pad your score for you..

i love upping at a vulched field. after a few tries i have usually broke even on k/d, and if FHs are down its time for a B26.  lose all your ord on the runway and commence turkey shoot. nothing clears a vulched field faster.

and then, there is always the mighty IL2.....


With tanks, i think they need a 5 second invulnerability after spawn so they can at least see whos killing them and get the mototr running.

Well, I don't like spawn camping either, but the types of kill messages I get seem to encourage it. wth!!

lets see the film of  all these kills. The screenshot doesnt tell us anything about how you got em.
Title: why is spawncamping so fun
Post by: 68DevilM on January 18, 2005, 08:13:06 PM
thier so random for me most of the time it       seems almost pure luck.

in another words i used to do alot of driveing to hopefully find a good spot only to have no one up, and then sometimes you get lucky and others you get dead.

i love it when they up bombers, and there is a 5 sec or so gap between when u up till when the two of you see eachother, usually enough time to get turret around.

i up at capped fields, that make me pathetic?

i usually kill the bstards too.

and if you cant up fighters, up bombers out of the hangar and deathstar them, that works too.
